With the planet of love in Aquarius, our focus turns toward community and friendships over the next several weeks.
While Venus in Capricorn's more down-to-earth energy helped us make practical decisions in the realm of romance, Venus in Aquarius from January 17 to February 10 encourages more freedom of expression. We may be drawn to more unconventional approaches to love and prioritize staying true to ourselves.
Venus in Aquarius has the greatest impact on the astrological signs below. Capricorn season helped these signs implement some structure in their lives, and now Venus in Aquarius sets the tone for Aquarius season. Venus meets up with Pluto on January 20, bringing powerful transformations to these signs as it ushers in a new beginning.

Aquarius, life gets much better with Venus in your sign bringing love and encouraging you to share it with others. It's an uplifting transit that reminds you to show up for yourself. New learning experiences involving how much you’re willing to share within your relationships present themselves over the next several weeks. Social gatherings are more appealing during the course of this transit, as is reconnecting with friends.
Because Venus in your sign makes you more vulnerable, kind, and compassionate, it could unearth some suppressed emotions, especially once Venus and Pluto meet up in your sign on January 20. Make time for self-care as you become more protective of your time and energy. This is a calming reset that gears you up for the wonders the Aquarius season brings as you prepare to get back in the spotlight.

Taurus, Venus in Aquarius is a wake-up call, but life gets much better once you make some changes in your professional or academic sector. This is a period of repairing any broken connections with others. Venus in conjunction with Pluto starts things off on January 20, bringing vibrant transformations and preparing you for the new lesson plan that begins with this transit. You are entering a learning phase building on what you've been working through with Pluto in Aquarius.
But this is also a nostalgic period because it brings back some of the Saturn in Aquarius energy from 4-5 years ago, when you were focused on your career and professional goals. However, things are a lot calmer this time around with Venus softening the energy, bringing hope, adding support, and welcoming love to the goals you want to pursue over the next several years.
